I ran memtest - no ram errors. I ran the windows file repair utility (sfc) and it came back with no errors/corrupt or missing files. I ran chkdsk on all drives (/v and /r) - they came back with no errors. I ran the Hitachi drive fitness test utility on my 2 Hitachi HDD - no errors.

I am not currently overclocking - since it's a new system i want to stabalize it first.

When I run multiple downloads at the same time such as torrents while browsing multiple webpages and downloading files, the computer freezes sometimes as though the internet connection has stopped working, i.e. web pages stop loading or files/torrents stop downloading. Sometimes after about 1 minute the browser crashes (once it was outlook while checking for new mail). It led me to believe i may have some kind of driver conflict to do with my lan controller or something. I have no exclamation points in device manager though (except i have disabled something called PCI simple communications controller). I only get BSOD while playing starcraft 2 so far. I have played Mass Effect 2 for several hours with no problems (Mass Effect 2 is not an online game).

Thank you for posting the code from the minidump files - i don't really understand it very well. I installed most/all drivers from the manufacturers website rather than using windows update. I wonder if I should have left windows to install my lan controllers? (I had to install one of them to get online).

i have a hunch that it's the ssd drive. i'm going to reinstall windows on a HDD, and just use the SSD for video editing footage. i will report back with results. if you have any more advice for me please let me know.
